BREAKING NEWS

NEW NMFC change could prove costly to members
FLI Inc., shipping partner to SGCDpro, has recently learned of a change that could impact SGCD members. The National Motor Freight Classification provisions for glassware have been changed. The old item (88140) had a range of classes depending on the released value of each shipment. The new item includes a released value of $19.00 per pound with classes then determined by density of the commodity as prepared for shipment.

What this means to SGCDpro members is that it will now be necessary to calculate the density, in pounds per cubic feet, on every shipment of glassware. Each bill of lading will need to reflect this change. Failure to comply will result in carrier classification changes and charges from the carriers for incorrect bill of lading information. FLI can provide members with a simple density calculator or one can be accessed on our website at www.fliinc.net.
